Bike Rack Option For A 2012 Nissan Altima Coupe
Question:
Looking for recommendations /shopping losti for a tow hitch and bike rack that will be compatible with my 2012 Altima coupe. Id like to tow 1-2 beach cruiser style bikes with pannier racks/bags. Id like to be able to access my trunk with the bike rack attached. Id like the bike rack to have a smaller footprint for storage when not in use. Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Hello Sherie. I do have a solution for you, but unfortunately, we do not offer a trailer hitch for the 2012 Nissan Altima coupe. The hitches we carry are for the sedan only. If you need to carry two bikes, the only option is to use a trunk mounted rack like the Saris Bones EX 2 # SAR83FR. This can hold two bikes weighing up to 35 lbs apiece. Alternative frame bikes may require an adapter bar, part # SA3040. Just keep in mind that the trunk cannot be opened with a trunk mounted rack installed
